“National museum of New Zealand that hold a big native collection, 3 floors with a lot of history, and for me, the most impressive is the war one, with it's people representing what they were doing in a big scale, that you can view the details of the figures. Worth to take a look and visit it! :)”

“One of the scariest experiences of my life!!! So exhilarating! The live actors are amazing at their job, the staff are very friendly (and hilarious!), and the execution was just phenomenal. Seriously recommend this place if you want a good scare!”

“They are do excellent work on restoring and running mainline excursions around New Zealand... crew are very nice to be around as well...”

“What a great experience and what an excellent Christmas present! Got a totally unique perspective on Transmission Gully. Perfect day, smooth flight (thanks Dennis) and panoramic views of the Kāpiti Coast. A good option for those wanting to try a helicopter flight for the first time.”

“Wonderful new cafe, lots of animals and variety of landscapes such as streams, waterfalls, hills. Well worth visiting though take care on the narrow road to Staglands.”

“What an amazing venue for a concert! Saw the War on Drugs here and could not fault it one bit. Reasonably priced drinks, incredible location and the sound was great too. Great to see a city using a venue like this for live music!”

“Awesome fenced Park to bring your dog!”

“Logan was very good at leading the tour and the whole thing was just very impressive and made me really proud to be a kiwi. We really have some amazing people in this little country or ours”

“We have visited Truby Park in 2020, it was a wonderful experience. Loved the history, nature , fresh air. Beautiful flowers, good place to have a walk and chat and enjoy nature and history. This is also a good place for a picnic. Kids can play and have fun. Parking was easy to find.”

“The Island Bay Marine Education Centre, also known as "The Bait House", is an interactive marine experience based in Island Bay on Wellington's south coast. As well as there being lots of different sea creatures on display (including a couple of octupuses, sea horses, crayfish, turtles, a grumpy blue cod to name a few) you can also handle starfish, sea cucumbers, sea anemones, crabs and other sea life found un the touch pools. There is far more inside than you would expect from the outside and the volunteers whi wirk there are very friendly and helpful. It is really reasonably priced ($5 for adults, $2 per child) and we were all entertained for ages. Really good fun and educational too. Definitely worth checking out with the family.”

“Easy walk to a nice dam - kid friendly. Mountain buggy ok. New bridge open now.”

“Great lookout with easy access and gorgeous views over Kapiti Coast and Kapiti Island. The forest loop track has lots of info boards which help to keep kids entertained while discovering the forest birds and insects. Upd. What I really like about this reserve is that every path is so different. There are heaps of hidden gems like giant totara or kid-size bench, weta boxes in the bush and cool look-outs. Hit the track and enjoy!”

“What a unique and enjoyable staycation in regional Wellington! Theo’s cottage was well appointed and equipped with everything we needed including treats :) we had the whole reserve to ourselves at night and early morning which was truly amazing. The staff, wildlife and surroundings were of high quality and I highly recommend the kiwi encounter, eel feeding, bird talk and accommodation. Thanks for hosting us this weekend team.”

“This is a fantastic experience we went for an end of year Christmas event, it’s been a tough year so we wanted to do something a little bit different and it was. There is something for everyone and we escaped the serial killer finally”

“Shout out to our planetarium guide at the 8:30 show last night (Wednesday Dec 3). Greeted us when we arrived. Shared his genuine enthusiasm for the stars and the mission of Space Place. The exhibits space is small/medium, but the quality was quite high and captures the teenagers with us (no small feat!) with the right level of engagement and knowledge share. You can easily spend a couple hours with the planetarium show. I live in Los Angeles and while Griffith Observatory is quite famous, the exhibit quality for kids, teens and adults is superior if you take the time to read the material and enjoy the video/interactive set ups.”

“Open water dive course was bloody awesome, great value. Nice shop, great guys, Cheers”

“A superb park, well laid out with great planning. The planting attracts birds of all types including the rowdy Tui. Great water features. Plenty of spacious parking and electric car charging posts. Toilets suffer from vandals but usable”

“We took our two mokopuna to Adrenaline Forest today. The eldest has been a couple of times and was confident after his briefing to get started. The younger was less so but certainly gave it his best. They both succeeded and had a great time. My thanks to the staff who supported my mokos in particular but were attentive to all. Clear safety instructions showing exactly how to use the equipment; and just the right encouragement when one of my boys got stuck. A reminder of the basics and gentle but firm guidance from the ground. All the reassurance that was needed and our moko carried on again. No doubt the boys will be back and their koro and I will be happy to accompany them. Ngā mihi ki a koutou...”

“So lovely park, a lot of space good for picnic, while enjoying the view of the sea that has a lot of floating boats. also a lot of trees too to cover you from the sunlight.”

“Great facility, just a shame about the access.”

“Lovely field to have a run on. Pitch is kept in great condition and the goals seem brand new.”

“Did the Meerkat Close Encounter and was incredible. Such an interactive experience with very knowledgeable keepers. A great zoo to support which contributes to conservation efforts and animal well-being.”

“A nice walk down from mount Crawford and the memorial has a very transcending vibe to it. Was with my partner and we enjoyed the breathtaking views from both sides of the memorial and just laid down on the grass and took it all in”
